- Effectively manage workload allocation and resource planning to meet operational demands during periods of high growth.
- Collaborate effectively with Customer Success, Finance, Compliance, Product and Engineering teams to ensure seamless financial flow and a cohesive client experience.
- Drive continuous improvement of our financial infrastructure by working hand-in-hand with Product and Technology teams, offering operational insights that directly shape enhancements to banking platforms, payment gateways, reconciliation tools, and core transaction processing systems
- Lead, coach, and empower a growing team of Operations Analysts, fostering a culture of precision, accountability, and continuous improvement.
